In late October, the weather in Goryeo is getting colder.

Since October 22, snow has begun to fall in the Chungcheong-do region in the heart of Goryeo.

For the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen in this area, this kind of ghost weather of freezing dogs to death is naturally to stay at home, accompany their wives, tease their concubines, and feel comfortable, at most they go to the suburbs to hunt, show their martial arts, and enjoy their body and mind.

But for many of the poor people in the region, this is the busiest time.

Because, the Korean ginseng on the mountain is just in the right time.

They had to take advantage of the ten days and a half months of work to try their luck in the mountains before the heavy snow closed the mountains.

If you are lucky and pick one or even several good ginseng plants, your life will quickly change for the better.

It is definitely an exaggeration to say that they have changed their lives against the sky and crossed classes, but it will definitely make them live a very comfortable life in the next year or two, or even three or five years.

It must be known that a Korean ginseng that is ten or twenty years old is enough to sell for more than ten or twenty taels of silver, and if the quality is better, dozens of taels are not a problem.

And if you pick an older one, then it is really enough to soak in the kiln for a year without going out.

In this kind of restless tide, the Great Qing Kingdom will not waste such an opportunity.

The real Manchurian garrison under Bamburshan, even if it was scattered to the various ginseng collection points in Chungcheong-do, had to ensure that this wave of fat tax revenue was collected first.

In fact, not counting the taxes imposed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Goryeo itself already imposed heavy taxes on these mountain people.

After all, this is some speculative 'no capital' trading, and the official Goryeo tax is set at 10 taxes, but when it comes to the local level, it often becomes 2 taxes out of 10, or even 3 taxes out of 10.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty inserted another lever, and it became ten taxes and four, or even ten taxes and five.

The key Bamburshan was not willing to be lonely, and he held back in the kiln for two nights, and then came up with a "capitation protection tax".

This directly leads to the fact that the tax on the surface alone is already approaching the scale of ten taxes and six taxes.

If you add a little 'little ghost', the mountaineers' own expenses will directly lead to the fact that the mountaineers' ginseng of ten taels of silver may be about three taels, or even only two taels......

These mountain people in Goryeo are not stupid.

Why are you so oppressed by the money you worked so hard to get with your head pinned to the waistband of your trousers?

This is where the black market comes in.

Compared with the official market price, even though the bosses on the black market are black-hearted, they are still much stronger than the official ones, and they can get at least five taels of ten taels of silver, or even more than six taels or seven taels.

In the end, where to sell the ginseng, the mountain people will naturally vote with their feet.

In the middle of Chungcheong-do, there is an inconspicuous town called 'Gangfuli', which is an important trading point in this black market.

……

At the beginning of November, as the heavy snow began to close the mountain, the mountain people began to move out of the mountain one after another, and the trading points began to prosper one after another.

However, the official trading market in Cheongju, which is dozens of miles away from Jiangfuli, is becoming more and more withered, and even less than ten ginseng plants can be harvested a day.

Without trading volume, there will naturally be no taxes.

And without taxes, you can't complete the tasks assigned by the master, and you can't eat enough.

This made Xiao Fukang, the chief general of the Great Qing State in Qingzhou and entrusted with important tasks by Bamburshan, unable to sit still.

But there was obviously a tacit understanding between the local Goryeo officials, and there was a vigilant hostility towards them, even if Xiao Fukang was upset, he didn't dare to mess with them, for fear of making things bigger and forcing the Goryeo people to rebel, and even his master Bamburshan couldn't protect him.

I can only send people to find out the news, and at the same time sulk myself.

That afternoon, Xiao Fukang was about to go to the kiln to vent and get rid of the anger in his heart, when a henchman suddenly came with good news, and there was a whisper in Xiao Fukang's ear.

"What?"

"How dare these dogs dare to play with Lao Tzu?!"

Xiao Fukang suddenly thundered, and his lungs were about to be blown up.

No wonder, no wonder these Koreans are so calm, feelings, they have already eaten enough in the black market!

But Xiao Fukang also crawled out of the pile of dead people, he was already thirty-five years old, and he had already passed the age of impulsiveness, and after calming down for a while, he forcibly suppressed his anger, and asked the slave in a cold voice: "Where is the biggest black market near Cheongju?" ”

The minion had already prepared and was busy telling the matter of 'Jiang Fuli', but he was still not too sure about Jiang Fuli's location.

"Huh."

Xiao Fukang couldn't help sneering: "Play this set with my Daqing, don't you know, my Daqing is the ancestor of playing this!" Baha, you dog minion, you will take someone to check now, within a day, you can't find out the details of that Jiangfuri, I want your head! “

"Wow."

……

True Manchuria is indeed proud of its capital.

They already live in the white mountains and black waters, because of the geographical relationship, there is almost no difference between them in Goryeo and their hometown.

In less than a day, Baha got the details of Jiang Fuli and carefully reported them to Xiao Fukang.

Xiao Fukang held a battle meeting overnight, and that night, he quietly left Qingzhou City with more than 200 Zhen Manchurian and more than 100 Han army flags, armor-clad minions, and thousands of horses.

But what they didn't notice was that in the darkness, there were already shadows locking their whereabouts.

……

In the evening of the next day, in Jiangfuli, which was surrounded by mountains, there were two large and two small figures.

The eldest was a man, not tall and quite thin, with a rabbitskin hat on his head and a sharply sharpened wood knife hanging from his waist.

The two small figures are a man and a woman.

The girl is older, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and she is not very well dressed, but she is very delicate, especially a pair of big eyes, which are quite beautiful, and add a little bright color.

The little boy is about ten years old, although he is immature, but he is not smiling, and his little face is also full of vicissitudes, and he is relatively precocious.

"Daddy, this, is this Jiang Fuli? It doesn't feel as prosperous as I thought. ”

Although the father and brother were very silent, the girl's personality was quite lively, and she finally came out of the mountains, but not to the bustling town, which made her a little disappointed.

This place is so small and so broken, she can't buy jewelry to show off, so how can she prove her bravery to her friends?

Perhaps, Tessioba will also be disappointed in himself......

Looking at his daughter's lost pretty face, the man couldn't help but smile: "Eunxi, you want to buy jewelry, right?" Don't worry. Don't look at this small town, but it's not much worse than big towns like Cheongju. Wait, let's have a meal first, and by the evening, you'll know how lively it is. When we sell these ginseng plants, Daddy will definitely buy you a few good pieces of jewelry. ”

"Daddy, and Xiaogang's hunting knife......

The girl blinked timidly with her big eyes.

The younger brother Xiaogang finally had a look on his face, and he looked at his father busily.

The man touched a few Korean ginseng plants that were carefully wrapped in the baggage on his chest, especially one that was thirty years old, and he also had a lot of confidence in his heart, and laughed: "Buy, Daddy will buy them all for you." ”

"Wow, Daddy, Eun-hee loves you to death......"

"Thank you, Daddy......"

Eun-hee and Xiaogang couldn't stop cheering lowly.

The receipt is generally carried out at night, the father and daughter came to the town to find the hotel where they stayed, and after settling down, the father was ruthless, and took his son and daughter directly to a restaurant next to the hotel, ordered several meat dishes, and the family was ready to celebrate the next harvest.

There are many more people like them.

It's basically family-style, with fathers with sons, grandfathers with grandchildren, and in short, almost no one partners with outsiders.

Because of the location, there are a lot of mountain goods, and they themselves are a ginseng receiving point, and the relationship behind them is very hard, and a few chefs who have gone to Daming to learn from Pingcheng have been specially hired, which makes the wine and food here taste very good.

The guests are basically bitter mountain people, and soon they are all full of oil and smiles, almost never so comfortable in their lives.

Eun Hee also quickly ate her little belly round, and she couldn't stop burping comfortably, but she didn't forget to pick up vegetables for her father and younger brother, and the family was happy.

However.

What no one here noticed was that in the night that was getting darker outside, there were already several pairs of hungry wolf-like eyes on the mountains near the three main roads in and out, firmly locked here.

……

Eun-hee's family was full of food and drink, and a vigorous fire lit up outside, and the night market opened.

The father took the brother and sister to walk around the night market first, looked at the situation, asked about the price, and in the end, they chose the acquisition point of the restaurant where they had just eaten.

After some negotiations, a few Korean ginseng plants of the father and daughter were sold for a high price of 70 taels of silver.

The reason for this is mainly that the situation in the Ming Dynasty has become more and more stable, the market has gradually recovered, and the demand for Korean ginseng by dignitaries and landlords and gentry has also begun to increase.

It wasn't until he put the silver in his pocket and blended into the crowd that Eun-hee couldn't control his excitement and cheered: "Daddy, great, great, we're rich, rich......"

She has already seen a few big jewelry stalls, even if she can't afford to buy a gold hairpin, but if she buys a silver hairpin and a gold stud earring, her life will be complete, and she can marry her Tessio Paba in style.

Even Xiao Gang's little face also showed uncontrollable joy, this time, not only can he buy the waist knife he likes, I'm afraid he will have enough money to marry his daughter-in-law in the future.

My father was even more pleased.

Over the years, he has worked hard, but he still let his wife and children suffer from cold and starvation, and he didn't eat the last meal, this time, the ancestors blessed, God blessed, and finally raised his eyebrows.

While rubbing a pair of children's little heads, he was also ruthless in his heart, this time, he must buy a good hairpin for his wife.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Just as the father and daughter had just squatted down in front of the jewelry stall, a loud noise suddenly came from the side of the mountain not far away.

For a moment, everyone was stunned and at a loss.

"Haha, surround the intersection, don't let go of a Diao Min!"

"Top, top, top, don't let these Nikans run away......"

"Bang ......"

"Boom ......"

In a moment, the sound of firearms, explosions, bows and arrows, mixed with the shouts of birds that many Goryeo mountain people had never heard before, directly detonated this small world.

The two ends of the long night market were the first to suffer.

In order to deter these Goryeos, many real Manchurian soldiers showed no mercy at all, as long as there was anyone in their field of vision, they were the targets of their slaughter.

The rich smell of blood rose with the wind, and the cries, howls, and tyrannical laughter tore the originally quiet night sky to shreds.

In just a few minutes, this little Jiangfu has become a hell on earth that God dare not look at.

"Run!"

"Run, it's Manchurian Tartars, everyone run to the mountains......"

In the midst of the terrible chaos, there are still people who understand, even if they shout in Goryeo.

Only then did the crowd react, and they wanted to break through to the mountains on both sides as if they were desperate.

Fortunately, the stall where Eun-hee's father and daughter were buying jewelry was in the middle of the night market, and they were not affected by the first wave of shock.

"Hehe, you still want to run away after greedy for your rich Kangye's silver? How can it be so easy!! ”

On the main road near the mountain pass, Xiao Fukang smiled coldly, as if he was not looking at a group of people, but at a group of livestock, and immediately said: "What about the rocket, I will seal the road for the master!" ”

"Wow!"

This group of real Manchuria seemed to have been prepared, and the minions around Xiao Fukang suddenly set off signal flares, and a few fireworks burst into the sky in an instant.

Although the height is lower than the standard signal flare of the Model Army, there is no problem with the bloom, and it is built by the skilled craftsmen of the Shenji Battalion.

"Whoosh ......"

The real Manchurians on the other side of the mountain suddenly laughed wantonly and released several rockets, the key is that they had already piled up several dry firewood piles here.

In the blink of an eye, the fire lit first, followed by thick smoke, which quickly began to ignite even the surrounding mountains and forests.

The souls of all the people of Goryeo Mountain were about to fly, and they hurriedly ran towards the opposite side of the mountain.

But as soon as they were halfway through, they found that the mountain opposite was also quickly burning with a vigorous fire.

This is, a desperate plan to kill.
