Invincible Emperor Summoning System

The man in his thirties clamped the snake's body with special pliers, and then carefully put the poisonous snake into their bamboo building, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Facing Yue Chen's question, the man named leader said: "This is a treasure."

"Baby?" Yue Chen was surprised, "What kind of baby is this?"

The man said: "Don't look at him as cruel, but for the big shots, this snake meat is very delicious, and it is a specialty of our place."

"Delicious, eat?" Yue Chen frowned, "Then how much can you sell it for?"

The man smiled and said, "Sell it, we won't sell it."

"Don't sell it, eat it yourself?" Yue Chen was a little dissatisfied, the other party kept showing off.

The man said: "This is for tax deduction. This kind of snake is only found in autumn every year. Once we catch one and hand it over, it can be used to offset the family's tax for a year.

Now we have caught one, which is a good start. When we catch one, we will not have to pay this year's tax. "

Pay taxes?

Yue Chen didn't understand and said: "It's just paying the tax, you just pay it. Now the tax in Yue country is very light, and even some poor areas are directly exempted from tax. Like your Gaoyang County, because it is a poor county, the tax rate is originally set Very low."

The man gave Yue Chen a meaningful look, and said, "My lord, you are a son of a rich family, so you live in a story. The tax is reduced as it is said to be reduced."

Yue Chen shouted in a deep voice: "The imperial decree has been issued, and the government orders have been promulgated, how can it be child's play."

"Hahaha, son, you are still too naive." The man laughed loudly, "Imperial decree, that is what the emperor showed to the county magistrate. Whether the county magistrate executes it or not is the most important thing. The county magistrate ignores the emperor's imperial decree , then this decree is useless."

Yue Chen said: "Then... how much is your tax here?"

The man said: "The yield per mu is three hundred catties."

"What?" Yue Chen was shocked.

For example, fertile land in places like Gaoyang County can yield up to five or six hundred catties of grain per mu.

The tax is three hundred catties, isn't it collecting more than half of the grain?

Yue Chen clenched his fists, his face was very ugly, and he shouted sharply: "With so much food taken away, what do the people eat and drink. If there is no food left, if there is a famine, there will be no food left."

The man said: "If there is a famine, it is not a matter of whether there is any surplus food, but that you still have to hand over a hundred catties. However, there is no food in the field, and I have nothing to eat. What should I do?

At that time, only sell children and sell daughters. Those who have no children to sell can only starve to death. "

"It's really unreasonable." Yue Chen gritted his teeth and was furious.

He never imagined that there would be such a place in his own country of Yue.

The man looked at Yue Chen's appearance, he was a little happy, and said with a smile: "Young master can sympathize with us, it seems that you are also a kind person. But it's useless, this is determined by the county magistrate, and no one can change it. This Gaoyang County , the county magistrate is heaven."

Yue Chen said: "So, you catch snakes?"

The man said: "Yes, this snake can offset our tax for a year, no matter the weather is good or bad, at least we don't have to worry about tax.

Last year, my neighbor, died. Because he couldn't catch snakes and couldn't pay the tax, he died.

The year before last, there was a famine in the county, and many people died of starvation. "

Yue Chen said: "A lot of you have died, too."

The man showed a helpless smile, and said: "My grandfather was poisoned to death by a snake, and my father was also killed by a snake, and now it's my turn, and I don't know when I will die.

However, when there is a famine, I have surplus food to save, and when they starve to death, I don't have to pay taxes.

Even if I were poisoned to death today, I would live two years longer than those who starved to death the year before.

That's fine. "

Xiao Qi walked to Yue Chen's side and whispered: "Chen Yue, they are so pitiful."

Yue Chen looked up at the snake-catching men, their faces were already numb.

They don't know when they will die, but they seem to be waiting for death, as if one more day to live is a day.

Yue Chen suddenly remembered Bai Yingxue's words, some human continents are ruled by demons, where the human race is numb and ignorant, like wild animals, with no future and no hope.

Yue Chen couldn't see the future and hope from these people in front of him.

They just live to live.

What is the difference between such a human race and the demon race that was reduced to food under the rule of the demon race.

The only difference is that where the demons are, the human race is reduced to food.

And here, the human race helped them find food.

But the end is very tragic.

The anger in Yue Chen's heart was burning fiercely. In his own empire, there was actually such a county magistrate who treated people inappropriately.

It seems that Gaoyang County and his party came to the right place.

The man said to Yue Chen numbly: "Master, it's dangerous here, you should go."

Yue Chen said: "Don't you want to leave here and go to a better place?"

leave?

Everyone looked a little dazed, then shook their heads and walked further and further away.

They have been persecuted to the point of numbness, and have no other thoughts but to live day after day.

Perhaps one day, they will die at the hands of poisonous snakes, and this life will end.

And this seems to be their destined fate.

And after they die, their sons will inherit their craftsmanship, generation after generation, and so on.

Until, everyone died and no longer reproduced.

After everyone left, Yue Chen still felt resentful in his heart.

Xiao Qi said: "Chen Yue, what's the matter? Why do the managers here treat their compatriots like this? If this is in our fox clan, the patriarch will kill it himself."

Yue Chen gritted his teeth and shouted: "Because there are too many human races, and when there are too many people, it will be difficult to manage. Sometimes, you need to kill a group to deter a group.

It seems that I am going to raise the butcher knife again. "

"Shall we kill them now?" Xiao Qi asked.

Yue Chen shook his head indifferently, and said lightly: "No, let's go to the city to see, Gaoyang County... Hehe, what a Gaoyang County, what a magistrate."

In Yue Chen's heart, anger was burning fiercely, and the killing intent in his heart seemed to be gushing out.

He hadn't had such a killing intent for a long time, even when he met the demons, he was never so angry.

Back beside the carriage, Yue Chen said to Wei Zhongxian: "You follow us secretly, Xiao Qi and I will go to the city to have a look."

Yue Chen took out two human skin masks and put them on for himself and Xiao Qi.

After putting on the human skin mask, Yue Chen and Xiao Qi changed their appearance, and Yue Chen turned into an honest and loyal young man.

Xiaoqi's peerless face was covered and transformed into an image of a cute girl next door.

Later, Yue Chen and Xiao Qi were driving the carriage, and the two sat in the front together, slowly driving towards the county seat of Gaoyang County.

Gaoyang County is within easy reach.
