Chapter 24 (1/2)
There is a festive atmosphere all over the territory, and most of the merchants now sell some of the most popular commodities needed for the Spring Festival.
Although the number of adventurers is much less, there are more people in the nearby leading villages, wandering around and buying new year's products.
Because the Lord's tax revenue is not high, in addition to having enough to eat every year, there is still some surplus. Therefore, the civilians under Yongfeng may have the most favorable living conditions among all the nearby territories, while the civilians in other territories can barely survive without high taxes.
The common people in the nearby territory envy yongfengling's life, but it's useless to envy them. Everyone has an identity card to distinguish them from that territory. The crime of escaping from the territory without identity card is not small. Those without identity card will be regarded as slaves. They have no freedom at all. Life and death depend on the thought of the owner.
During this period, Shi Shilan, a tax official who was highly concerned by all the high-level officials in the territory, took dozens of elite cavalry and rode in a carriage to yongfengling.
All of us stood on both sides of the street and watched the procession coming slowly from the gate of the city
Zhao Fengnian was also surprised not to lie at home today, but was pushed to the attic of a restaurant by Aunt LAN, watching the tax official come.
In fact, he is also very curious about what kind of person the tax official is. Before that, he did not pay much attention to it, nor did he have the heart to pay attention to these things.
But now it was different. He also wanted to see what the imperial official looked like, who even his father had to treat respectfully.
In front of the team is very large, in front of dozens of cavalry in fine iron armor surrounded by two covered carriages, and behind the team there are a large number of miscellaneous servants pulling three flatbed carriages full of various materials.
In front of the window baffle of the covered carriage, you can see bursts of heat waves that distort the cold air, including bursts of women's laughter and men's laughter.
