Chapter 183

Li Changting directly took off his black hat. The magistrate of Qingzhou was not reluctant at all. On the contrary, he was completely relieved. He didn't want to clean up this mess for a long time. Let's go ahead.

Because the generals of Qingzhou garrison were punished by Li Changting, so that no one could be found to replace him. In the end, Li Changting had to write a letter and send someone to situ Xiao quickly to send someone to take over Huang Meng's position.

Later, Li Changting found a large amount of grain in Huang Meng's residence. The amount of grain was shocking.

Although the magistrate of Qingzhou was stripped of his black hat, he was drawn to be a strong man by Li Changting. After all, he is an insider of many things, and he may not be clear when asking others.

Qingzhou Prefecture magistrate explained: "this is the grain obtained by Huang Meng selling private salt, and part of it is the tax collected."

Li Changting frowned: "now the imperial court does not collect taxes. How dare Huang Meng collect taxes?"

The magistrate of Qingzhou bowed his head and did not dare to speak.

Li Changting: "return all the taxes collected by Huang Meng to the people. Can you still do this little thing?"

Qingzhou magistrate repeatedly nodded: "yes!"

Two days later, Xu Qing and Duanmu Xiang go to find Liu Zhu.

Liu Zhu did not expect to save her three people so big, see Xu Qing and Duanmu ring, quickly kneel salute.

"Don't salute. Come and tell us about xiaocangshan."

Liuzhu's cave is very simple, potholes, probably dug out by herself, in addition to a pile of straw, there is no place to sit.

It's afternoon. It's supposed to be a time for everyone to have a rest. But there are so many big things happening in these two days that everyone can't sleep excitedly. People can be heard talking loudly around from time to time.

Liu Zhu quickly takes out clean straw from the corner to spread it on Xu Qing and Duanmu Xiang. Xu Qing doesn't mind and sits down directly.

"How many people are there in xiaocangshan now?" Asked Xu Qing.

"I heard there are more than 200000 people." Liu Zhu replied formally, "they all came from the villages and towns of Qingzhou. I also heard that there is a water source here. It's close to the sea. You can go to the sea to catch fish. You can't die until you are hungry. If you don't come here, you'll have to pay part of the tax every month. If you can't pay it, you'll have to pay it off slowly even if the world is better in the future. "

"Huang Meng forced you to do it, didn't he?"

"I didn't know before. I thought it was the imperial court who wanted to do this. Now I know, but the new adults gave us all the food."

Xu Qing: "then why don't you grow grain? When you go to the sea, can you pick up the goods every day? "

Liu Zhu: "experienced fishermen can catch fish every day. People like us can only pick up conch shells by the sea. If we are lucky, we can also find a stranded fish. It's not that we don't grow grain, it's that the tax on growing grain is higher, and no one dares to grow it. "

Xu Qing nodded clearly and asked with a smile, "can you take us to the sea tonight? I haven't had seafood yet. "

Liu Zhu took a look at her: "it's very tiring to go to sea. When you come back from the sea, you usually have surplus goods to sell at the foot of the mountain. You can buy food at that time, and you can sell all kinds of seafood."

Xu Qing tilted his head: "I haven't been to the sea either. You'll take us with you tonight."

Liu Zhu nodded, naturally should be good, at this time, Xu Qing heard Liu Zhu stomach issued a cry.

Liu Zhu covered his stomach awkwardly: "it's time for me to cook."

Now it's evening, and the sun is going to set. It's time for us to have dinner and then go out to the sea.

Xu Qing said to Liu Zhu who went to get the grain, "thank you very much today. This is a small gift. Half an hour later, you will wait for me at the exit of xiaocangshan."

With that, Xu Qing and Duanmu Xiang left.

Liu Zhu turned around and saw an oil paper bag put on the straw pile by Xu Qing. She curiously went over and opened it. There were three pancakes in it. She even smelled the fragrance of the pancake. She hadn't smelled it for a long time!

On the way, Xu Qing asked Duanmu Xiang, "you live on the island. Should you often eat seafood?"

Duanmu ring: "well, I've tasted all kinds of seafood, and my chef's cooking skills are also excellent. If you have a chance, you must come to my house to have a taste."

Xu Qing had eaten all kinds of seafood in her last life. She was greedy when she thought of the taste.

Xu Qing goes to the government to find Li Changting, but now Li Changting is busy planning the cultivation of xiaocangshan, so he has no time to accompany Xu Qing to the sea.

He hardly closed his eyes these days, just dealing with the mess left by Huang Meng.

Finally, only Xu Qing and Duanmu Xiang can go.

Xu Qing finds Liuzhu waiting for them at the mouth of xiaocang mountain, and the three go to the seaside with the crowd.

It's a little far from the sea. It's an hour's walk, but everyone seems to be full of energy.

When Xu Qing came to the beach, he saw that the whole beach was full of people.

She said to Liu Zhu, "go ahead. Don't worry about us. We'll find it ourselves."Liu Zhu also wanted to fill his stomach. Although he was a little sorry, he nodded and joined the busy army on the beach.

It's such a spectacular scene that more than 200000 people come to the sea. There are so many people that Xu Qinggen has nowhere to go.

Finally, she could only stand aside with the bucket and stare at Duanmu ring.

There are all kinds of people who go to sea. Those who have boats can cast nets to catch fish. Those who don't know the water can go to sea to catch fish. The rest can only look for goods on the beach, but they will never let go of anything they can eat.

Duanmu Xiang shook his head: "fortunately, we are here. If we go on like this, sooner or later there will be no screw left on this beach."

However, some people spend a few more hours on their way. It's not bad to go further to the beach to find goods. But in case of danger, they have to let fate decide.

Duanmu rang yawned.

Xu Qing said, "let's go back."

Duanmu ring nodded.

Go back to sleep, and when it's almost dawn, Xu Qing and Duanmu ring come to xiaocangshan. As Liu Zhu said, there are many small stalls at the foot of xiaocangshan mountain. People who come back from the Sea sell their surplus seafood in exchange for some food that can be easily preserved.

Xu Qing carries a bamboo basket with vegetables and scales, while Duanmu Xiang carries a bucket with half a bucket of water. They go to pick up the seafood.

There's duanmuxiang, an expert. You don't have to worry that you can't find good products. What's more, these seafood are only returned in the evening, and they are still very fresh.

Conch, shrimp, crab, fish Xu Qing is not soft on buying. Considering the two men who have a big appetite at home, it's not enough for them to buy less.

After a quick turn, Xu Qing spent all the dried vegetables in the basket and replaced a bucket full of fresh goods.

Worried that the seafood would be stuffy, Xu Qing and Duanmu Xiang quickly left after they bought the seafood. After walking far away, they hid in the mountain forest and entered the space.
