Such a tax system naturally has big flaws. In the beginning, there were all kinds of people trying to evade taxes. As a result, without exception, these people were punished. Although I don’t know why, but

From then on, no businessmen dared to continue to evade taxes.

"Dong, dong, dong!" A sound of drums came from a distance.

The two cities have opening times and closing times every day, and the times are stuck just before dawn and before sunset. The two cities have very strict requirements for the opening of the market. Within the five hundred drums after the sun sets, all the

Regardless of whether the business has been negotiated or not, people must close their shops and walk out of the two cities. Those who do not walk out of the two cities within the sound of three hundred drums must be imprisoned for three days and prohibited from entering the two cities.

Ten days of punishment, this punishment is considered a very serious punishment for the merchants in the market.

After hearing the sound of the drum, the faces of merchants and pedestrians immediately became nervous. They packed up their shops and prepared to close their shops. The goblin took out the copper coins from his counter and put the fish in the cart.

Finally, he pulled down the curtain of the shack and left in a hurry.

The goblins only took away the money and the undried fish, leaving all the goods in the shop with almost zero defense. At this time, if someone opened the curtain, they could take away the goods directly from the shop.

Dried meat. But it’s best not to do such a thing. Anyone who engages in petty theft in the two cities will be discovered no matter how secretly they are. That’s why the Goblin left the shop so confidently and left directly.

Shop.

Zaryusi also quickened his pace and left the Western Market.

Zaryusi was walking home carrying the few remaining big dogs from the sale. The house he lived in was located on the outskirts of the village. If he continued forward, it would no longer be a wetland, but a place like a lake. The water there used to be

It is quite deep, but because rows of windmills and drainage channels were built later, it has now turned into muddy paddy fields. Rice grows on the paddy fields, but because of poor growers

Due to the poor planting techniques, the rice was planted crookedly.

These rice crops are all crops grown by Zaliusi. There are twenty rice fields in Lisuo, occupying almost half of the tidal flat.

As carnivores, lizard people naturally do not eat rice, so lizard people grow rice more like planting cash crops. The reason why they choose to plant rice is to exchange rice for meat with other races.

In the big forest, you can exchange food for meat with tribes such as the Minotaur Tribe, Centaur Tribe, Sheep-Head Tribe, Pig-Head Tribe, Monkey Tribe and Dog Tribe.

As soon as I approached the hut, there was a coquettish cry in the hut, maybe I could smell the smell of meat. A snake head emerged from what should have been the window. It was a snake with dark brown scales and amber eyes.

Giant python. When Zariusu came close to it, it quickly wrapped its four heads around his body.

Zaryusi stroked the snake's body with familiar movements. The snake seemed to feel very comfortable and narrowed its eyes. It felt like a kitten acting coquettishly.

This four-headed python is Zariusi's pet since he was a child, and his name is Luo Luo Luo. During his past travels, Luo Luo Luo has always accompanied him.

"Lo Luo Luo, I brought the feed. Eat slowly!" Zariusi took out most of the remaining fish in his fishing net and fed them to Luo Luo Luo, leaving only one for his own consumption.

.,

A white figure walked behind Zariusi: "Zariusi, you are back!"

Seeing his wife, Zariusi proudly patted the money bag on his waist, and then handed her the only fish left in the fishing net: "Well, Kurusue, I'm back! It's a bumper harvest today.

I made more than five hundred coins at one time. Tonight

Do you think we can make fish soup?"

Kurusue took the big fish weighing more than 30 kilograms, thinking that he would be able to eat delicious fish soup tonight, and couldn't help but feel happy, "Okay, no problem!"

Sometimes history is so miraculous. In the original work, Zaryusu and Kurusue, who had to wait until the Bones invaded to get married, actually got married early. The reason why they got married early was not because of foreign enemies.

They were forced to get together due to the invasion, but because Zariusu's tribe conquered Kurusue's tribe, Kurusue was forced to become Zariusu's wife.

In the Beidahu area, there were originally seven tribes: Sharp Tail/Red Eyes/Green Claws/Dragon Tooth/Little Tooth/Sword/Yellow Spot. In addition to the Sharp Sword and Yellow Spot, which have long since disappeared due to lack of food, there are still five tribes left.

A tribe. No war in this world is glorious, and the war in which Green Claw unified the entire lizardman tribe was also based on dripping blood.

As the weakest of the five tribes, the Red Eyes were the first tribe to be invaded by the Green Claw Tribe. Because the Green Claw Tribe invaded the Red Eye Tribe too suddenly, and they had never seen firearms before, the Red Eye Tribe almost

They were defeated by the Green Claw tribe without any resistance.

After the defeat, the property and population of the Red-Eye Tribe were naturally plundered by the Green Claw Army. The male and female lizards were forced to become slaves. When the slaves were distributed, because of Kurushe's special white skin, there was no lizard man.

I am willing to make Kurusue a slave. Because most lizards like female lizards with thick tails, but have no favorable impression of female lizards with this special skin color.

The tail of a lizard man stores nutrients. Therefore, having a thick tail is fatally attractive to the opposite sex. However, Zariusu, who has traveled far and wide, seems to have little affection for this kind of female lizard with a thick tail. On the contrary, he has a special attraction for Kurusue.

The female lizard with red skin aroused strong interest. Therefore, among the abandoned slaves, Zariusu fell in love with Kurusue at a glance.

Out of excitement and nervousness at that time, Zariusu stood in front of Kurusue and stammered and asked her if she wanted to be his slave. As the winner, he actually asked the loser if she wanted to be his slave.

Slave, this is obviously an extremely ridiculous thing, but it really happened. His expression at that time did not look like he was talking to a slave, but more like he was confessing his love to his lover.

.

At that time, Kurushe naturally had no room for resistance, so she chose to become Zariusu's slave. However, a dramatic scene occurred. On the second day after Kurushe became a slave, Lulu, the leader of the Green Claw tribe,

Xiu forced the release of all the slaves of the Red-Eye Tribe and asked the soldiers to return half of the loot to the Red-Eye Tribe.

At that time, this incident caused a commotion within the Green Claw tribe. In the end, Lelouch suppressed it with one person's power, and the slave emancipation was naturally carried out. All the members of the Red Eye tribe, both men and women, were released, and in the end only

Kurusue stayed alone at Zariusu's house and refused to leave. At that time, Lelouch thought that Zariusi would not obey his orders and wanted to kill Zariusius. However, in desperation, Kurusue said that he volunteered.

She married Zaryus and was able to save Zaryus' life.

A lizard with black scales came out of the woods and waved to Zariusi: "Hey, Zariusi, are you there?"

"Brother, why are you here?"

"Of course I came to see you." Xia Silius paused awkwardly, "By the way, I want to ask you to borrow Luo Luo Luo so that he can help you reclaim the land for yourself!"

The more than 20 acres of paddy fields outside Zariusi's house were basically cultivated by Luo Luoluo. If Zariusi relied solely on him to cultivate it, he would not be able to finish it even if it took a year and a month. But with Luo Luoluo's help,

It only takes a matter of minutes to cultivate twenty acres of paddy field.

If not

Zaryus himself doesn't know much about farming paddy fields. Otherwise, the dried meat he gets from selling rice would be enough for Zaryus to not go out hunting for a whole year.

For the entire lizard people tribe, their previous way of living in one place has been completely broken. Trade has made the lizard people understand that even food that they cannot eat can be exchanged for food that is useful to them.

thing.

The lizard people have discovered that compared to the unstable hunting food source, the food source obtained through farming is more stable, and the storage time of food is longer than that of meat. Food is a kind of omnivorous or vegetarian race.

With hard currency in them, meat can be easily purchased from them.

For example, the Tauren tribe or the Centaur tribe, these are races with hunting abilities and hunting traditions. The strong Tauren have long learned to hunt wild bears in exchange for food from humans, and the Centaurs are no different from human nomads.

The tribesmen relied on shooting various birds and animals to satisfy their hunger.

The phenomenon of wealth differentiation has gradually appeared in this lizard people who have just stepped out of barbarism. Some enlightened lizard people have escaped from a life of poverty and have begun to possess a large amount of surplus wealth. The lizard people have begun to have people who are completely separated from production and hunting.

As for personnel who specialize in war or administrative services, some lizardmen can even purchase large quantities of slaves and rely on slaves to produce and work for themselves. This was completely unimaginable in the previous lizardman tribes.

For example, the eldest brother Xia Silius in front of me now has more than a dozen slaves of different races in his family, and they are all working on his farm. These slaves were sold to the lizard tribe by foreign slave traders.

Rather than being captured by lizardmen through war.

"Brother, don't you already have a lot of slaves?" Zariusi crossed his arms on his chest, "Why do you still want to borrow my Roloro?"

"Compared to those thin slaves, Luo Luoluo is many times stronger than them! If Luo Luoluo is allowed to go out, even fifty acres of land can be plowed out in one day."

Zaryusi looked at Luo Luoluo's body, which was bigger than an elephant, and then looked at the wooden plow placed at the door of his house that looked like it could be crushed by Luo Luoluo with just a kick. He wanted to compare it with Luo Luoluo.

For me, cultivating land is as easy as taking a walk.

"Okay, but since you decided to borrow my Luo Luo Luo, you have to pay some reward. Even if I don't want money, Luo Luo Luo still needs to fill his stomach."

Xia Silu nodded seriously, "Then... ten days of rations?"

Zaryusi looked at his brother with extreme contempt, "Fifty acres of cultivated land for ten days of rations, no profiteer is as ruthless as you!"

"But we are brothers, do you think we are siblings?" Shasilius asked Kurukshe for help.

Kruse showed a sly smile, "Oh, I seem to remember that His Majesty Lelouch once said the words 'brothers will settle accounts clearly' before."

"Okay, okay, ten days' worth is ten days' worth. But it needs to be full for ten days, which means you have to eat enough for ten days."

As a reptile, Luoluoluo is born with some dietary characteristics of reptiles. For example, after a full meal, it can go without eating for a long time.

For example, crocodiles among reptiles can maintain energy without moving at all. They can go without food for several months. In extreme environments, crocodiles can even go without food for up to 3 years. Luoluoluo

Although you can't go without food for three years, you can go several months without eating any food. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to feed the elephant-like Roloro with Zariusu's own strength.
