They met by chance and parted in a hurry. Lin Fengjin didn't have anything to give. Thinking that it was inappropriate to give money or gifts, he simply gave them a few lonely books. They couldn't put it down immediately and thanked them repeatedly. Lin Fengjin thought about it.

Thinking of it, he even left them the address of Lin's firm in Nanzheng. If there was anything urgent, he could directly ask Boss Lin after he got there and ask the shopkeeper to send a message to him.

Because Lin Fengjin feels that although Wang Zhan is talented and knowledgeable, to put it bluntly, he has low emotional intelligence and idealizes things too much. He always feels that the king is a saint, absolutely perfect, and can see everything clearly, but now he is under the control of the court.

Being deceived by the villain... Lin Fengjin could only sigh. To be honest, Li Chen, the king of the Middle Tang Dynasty who is now on the throne, is actually a middle-aged man. He should not bring down the country, but

To expect him to innovate and reach the level of a saint is completely nonsense!

Therefore, Lin Fengjin can almost conclude that the scholar Wang Zhan will definitely meet his end in the system. When he becomes disheartened and realizes the cruelty of the world, Lin Fengjin will be able to do what he wants. He took it into the house ------- Oh no, he should have thrown it into Wuzuo City to show off his ambitions. It was becoming more and more prosperous, and the customs and laws of the nomadic people were becoming more and more incompatible with it. It takes a knowledgeable person to put it on track.

Xunzhou is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and it is located on an important transportation road. Two official roads that crisscross the north, south, and east and west cross here. It is an important town located in the mountains. The specialties here are very unique, and they are A kind of medicinal material. Because of this medicinal material, seventy or eighty people die in Xunzhou every year. This is because this medicinal material is called Xun She, and the locals generally call it Shanlong.

Although the word "snake" is attached to the snake, it is usually two or three feet long, and the big one can even reach more than ten feet, leaping in the mountains like flying! However, its shape and characteristics are more similar to earthworms underground, not only in size but also in body shape. There are no scales on the surface, and it shows the distinctive features of rings one after another.

If people who see it for the first time think that its weakness is only seven inches, that would be a big mistake. At a critical moment, this snake can even break itself like an earthworm without dying. When it is angered, the top of its head will appear. It has a bright red comb shape, which is very scary!

Once this kind of snake bites a person, it is almost certain to die, and it will suffer a lot of pain before death. If you want to die more comfortably, you have to cut your wrist and bleed it to let the snake venom be discharged from the blood. However, this is very serious. Poisonous snakes can be captured and processed and brewed into wine, which is very effective in treating rheumatism. The medicine can often cure the disease. Elderly people drink a cup of snake wine in the morning and evening to strengthen their muscles and bones and prolong their life.

Therefore, although seventy or eighty people die every year due to hunting for snakes, as the snakes become increasingly rare, and the medicinal effects of snakes are further developed, snakes are first listed as tributes, and then they are still The supply exceeds demand, the government does not pay enough tribute every year, and there is no way to compete with the merchants on price, so the prefect gritted his teeth and issued a decree that all residents who turned in the snake hunter's family would be exempted from taxes and corvee for two years!

Tax exemption is okay, but being free of corvee is a big killer. This corvee is what peasants have to do for the government in vain every year, including labor, handymen, military service, etc. There are many shady things, and there are not a few people who have their families ruined because of corvee. ! At this moment, the crowd was furious, and the number of hunters going up the mountain to catch snakes increased day by day.

As a result, local scholars lamented that "tyranny is stronger than poisonous snakes". Rumors spread that this was the beginning of public dissatisfaction, which was equivalent to corroding the foundation of the kingdom. When this situation evolved to the most advanced version, it was those "nursery rhymes" "When it spreads, for example, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, "The emperor is not the emperor, the king is not the king, and thousands of horses are marching to Beimang"... it is a sign of the country's demise.

Faced with these harsh policies, Lin Fengjin was unable to help the world at the same time. If Xunzhou was the territory of Northern Qi, then he could still persuade the higher-ups. But unfortunately, this is the middle Tang Dynasty, and Lin Fengjin is walking on this land. They are all surrounded by dangers and cannot protect themselves, so they can only sigh and start shopping.

There is no doubt that Lin Fengjin must have paid attention to the snake hunter at the first time. As a product of revitalizing the local economy, Xunzhou has formed a large-scale market, and the area where snake hunters are traded is divided into fresh

The living area and the finished product area were still crowded with people, but about half of them were brokers. Looking at the foreign merchants who were unfamiliar with the place, they walked over to talk to them.

On the contrary, Lin Fengjin's appearance was not eye-catching. When someone asked him a few questions, Lin Fengjin immediately made a group of people angry by saying, "How is this young student doing?" Knowing that such poor people have no money and are even more involved.

It was all trouble, and all the brokers sighed, secretly thinking of bad luck, and would never go near Lin Fengjin.
