Small farmers dominate the desert island

"How far is it from the South of Xinjiang?" Chen Yu was not very interested in the goods traded by various countries, but only cared about how long it would take to move troops.

"Day and night, it will take about half a year." Hua Kuaiyue gave an answer that made Chen Yu feel desperate.

"Damn, I'm happy for nothing." Chen Yu muttered softly.

"What?" Hua Kuiyue didn't hear clearly and asked subconsciously.

"It's nothing, how far is it from your home?" Chen Yu felt a little lost in his heart, and the hope of moving the troops just disappeared in an instant.

"Turn right ahead and we'll be there!" Hua Guyue pointed ahead, feeling a little excited at first, and then saddened.

A very gorgeous mansion appeared in front of Chen Yu, Hua Kuiyue pointed to it and said that it was her home.

But on the tall lintel was written the word "Qi Mansion".

"The one named Qi is your stepmother's cousin?" Chen Yu asked, frowning.

Chapter 887

Birds occupy the dove's nest!

Hua Kuaiyue wept silently, nodded slightly, "Presumably my family's business has already been taken over by them."

"Go and have a look!" Chen Yu stared at "Qi's Mansion" coldly, then led Hua Kuiyue and turned to leave.

Under the leadership of Hua Kuaiyue, Chen Yu soon came to "Qiwei Commercial Firm", which was originally the property of the Hua family, but it was also occupied by Qi.

"Qiwei Commercial Bank, what a domineering name!" Chen Yu sneered, with murderous intent in his heart.

After walking around the street for a while, seeing that Hua Kuaiyue lacked interest, Chen Yu led her back to the market.

Seeing Dakui and others surrounded by a group of well-dressed men and some officers and soldiers from a distance, Chen Yu couldn't help thinking of four words, bullying the market.

He told Hua Kuiyue to keep quiet, and led her slowly closer.

"Today's tax, you have to pay it if you pay it, or you have to pay it if you don't." A leader of the officers and soldiers said with a sinister smile.

As the saying goes, people do not fight against officials.

Da Kui hurriedly stepped forward, nodded and bowed to please him: "My lord, we are all hunters and drug farmers, not commercial criminals. We sell wild goods just to make a living. I beg you to show your kindness and let the villain wait."

"How do you prove that you are hunters and drug farmers?" A goatee in his 40s asked with a sneer.

At this moment, Hua Guanyue whispered to Chen Yu softly: "This man is Qi Liang. He was originally the shopkeeper of my business. He is the one who colluded with Qi Jun to occupy my family's property."

Chen Yu nodded imperceptibly, and signaled with his eyes that Hua Guanyue should stay calm and wait for the changes.

I couldn't help sneering in my heart, the drama of government-business collusion was also staged, it was very exciting, and the follow-up will be even more exciting.

The officers and soldiers followed Qi Liang's words and asked, "That's right, how do you prove that you are hunters and medicine farmers?"

Da Kui pointed to the crowd and said: "Many old folks here know us. We will come here to sell mountain products every once in a while, and some storekeepers also know us. After we sell mountain products, we will go to their stores to buy rice. Grain and cloth."

Some people in the crowd kept nodding their heads, but no one dared to stand up and speak loudly, to be photographed by the officers and soldiers' coercion.

"Cheng Bantou, give the villain some face, how about this, our Qiwei Commercial Bank will collect all these mountain goods, and don't let them sell them here, so the tax will be exempted."

Qi Liang suddenly made a 180-degree turn and pleaded for Da Kui and others.

"Here, shopkeeper Qi, you're making me very embarrassed." Cheng Ban looked very embarrassed.

Qi Liang hastily handed over a bag of money to Cheng Bantou, "It's not easy to make a living, please do it conveniently."

After taking a bag of money and weighing the weight, Cheng Ban looked resigned, "Okay then, let's give shopkeeper Qi a face, the tax will not be collected, and the team will be closed."

"Come with me, send all these mountain goods to our Qiwei Commercial Bank, your money is indispensable." Qi Liang yelled at Dakui and others arrogantly.

At this time, Dakui saw Chen Yu in the crowd, and was about to speak, but saw him nodding slightly, and said with his lips: "Follow him!"

Huayun County is a heavily taxed county, but it only collects taxes from vendors and shops. Ordinary people do not need to pay taxes when they sell some crops and mountain products in the market.

Because of this, the officers and soldiers denied that Da Kui and others were hunters and drug farmers, and insisted that they were traders for the purpose of collecting a tax on traders.

Following from a distance behind Dakui and others' convoy, Hua Guanyue explained to Chen Yu.

Is it really only for the forced taxation of merchants?

Chen Yu secretly shook his head and smiled wryly, convinced that things were not that simple.

Dozens of cars pulled into the backyard of Qiwei Commercial Firm. Chen Yu and Hua Kuaiyue hid in the distance and watched, but did not follow.

After waiting for about an hour, Dakui and the others happily drove empty cars out of the backyard of Qiwei Trading Company.

Dakui kept looking around, looking for the figures of Chen Yu and Hua Guaiyue, and deliberately drove the car extremely slowly.

After going around two streets, Chen Yu and Hua Guaiyue appeared.

As soon as he saw Chen Yu and Hua Guanyue, Dakui jumped out of the flatbed truck excitedly, stepped forward and smiled eagerly: "Master Chen, all our goods have been bought by Qiwei Commercial Bank. This is money."

As he said that, he handed a large bag of silver to Chen Yu, which seemed to be worth 80 taels at least.

Chen Yu didn't reach out for money, but asked with great doubts: "There is no shortfall, and there is no deduction of the price?"

Da Kui quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "No, the price is [-]% higher than when we sold it at the market."

With the facts in sight, Chen Yu couldn't figure it out, thinking that Qi Liang is really a good person, and he didn't just buy and sell by force?

No, Chen Yu quickly thought of a possibility. Qiwei Trading Company must have taken a fancy to the high-quality natural products of Dakui and others, and they must want to stock up first and then increase the price.

Hoarding is a rare thing, Chen Yu doesn't want to care about this matter, anyway, he earns some money that doesn't matter to him, as long as Da Kui and others' mountain goods are really sold at a good price, it will be a good thing.

"Find an inn and settle down first. Reward yourself with good wine and good food first. Don't be reluctant to spend money. In the future, our mountain goods can be shipped to the county for sale, and every family can live a good life. We will buy good living supplies tomorrow , and we set off home.”

Chen Yu gave Da Kui and the others a few words, and led Hua Guanyue to blend into the continuous crowd again.

"Brothers, let's listen to Master Chen, don't be reluctant to spend money, drink and eat meat."

Following Dakui's order, everyone happily walked to the cheapest inn where they usually stayed.

It is said to be an inn, but it is actually a farm compound, doing business for the poor people in nearby towns and towns, charging very low prices for food and drinks, and sleeping in a Datong shop.

Every time Dakui and others came to the county, they would spend the night in this inn to rest and get along well with the boss.

The boss is also an authentic and enthusiastic person. Da Kui and others caught up with the rain and snow when they entered the city and failed to sell the goods. The boss even provided them with free board and lodging for several days until they sold the goods go.

"Boss Qin, the brothers are here again!" Before entering the door, Dakui yelled at the door.

"What's the noise?" A man who looked like a waiter walked out of the inn, glaring at Da Kui and the others fiercely.
