[Recite the URL silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]

Seeing Lu Bocheng with a straight face, Village Chief Zou and others were so frightened that their legs trembled.

Lu Bocheng’s prestige in the military has been getting higher and higher in recent years. He holds the governorship of the vassal town in Kyushu and has an army of 200,000. He fought in a sea of ​​​​blood. He is also kind to Su Qingyu and his family. In the eyes of outsiders, No different than the evil god.

No one who saw him dared to look directly at him.

“Sir, we are from a nearby village. We heard that noble people are here, so we just came to have a look. Really, we didn’t want to do anything.”

The village chief and others knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, and their limbs were shaking.

“Grandpa!” The children who were digging clams at the beach ran over when they heard the noise. They were a little scared when they saw grandpa and many villagers kneeling on the ground.

Su Qingyu pulled Lu Bocheng.

Ask people to help the village chief and others up.

“Old man, don’t be afraid. We are not bad people. Our family just comes to the beach to play. The children have never seen the sea, so I took them out to see it. Old man, are you from a nearby village?”

Although the village chief and others stood up, they did not dare to raise their heads.

“For your information, sir, we are from the nearby Leshan Village. This is the boundary of our village. I heard from a few children that there are strangers coming to the beach. We, we are here to take a look.”

“Grandpa, do you think they are here to collect fishing taxes? They are not, they are just here for fun, and you asked me to teach them how to dig clams. They have never even dug clams.”

The older child at the beach pulled the village chief and said something.

The village chief hurriedly pulled his grandson and asked him to stop talking.

“We don’t live by the sea, so of course we haven’t dug clams before. But when we came here today, we dug clams.” Xiao Qiyi angrily defended herself when the other party said that she had never dug clams.

When the village chief saw such a young girl, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe they really aren’t here to collect fishing taxes?

Who brings such a young child to collect fishing tax?

Su Qingyu and Lu Bocheng looked at each other. Although they had many questions, it was difficult to ask them now.

Then he said to the village chief: “Old man, we people are going to spend the night at the beach and cook at night. Can you tell us where there is fresh water so that we can fetch some water and cook dinner?”

“Huh? The nobles want to be the best at this beach?”

Seeing Su Qingyu nodding, he was stunned: “It’s windy at night on the beach, and how can you live here? There are so many people? How about the nobles staying in our village for a night?”

“No, we have brought tents, tarps, and bedding. The elderly don’t have to worry about us.”

The village chief and others looked at each other, it seemed they were really here for fun.

They all breathed a sigh of relief.

“There is a well in our village. I will take you to fetch water.”

“Thank you, old man. Is there anyone in the village who has fresh vegetables? Or fresh catches. We will also buy some from you.”

Although I brought enough things, since I came to the local area, I wanted to try the local food.

“Yes, yes, yes, our village relies on fishing for a living, and there are still some catches. But if the nobles want to eat fresh food, they have to wait until the fishing boat from our village comes back today.”

“Village Chief, didn’t you tell the boat not to dock today?” A man tugged on the village chief’s clothes.

I thought the sound was very quiet, but Su Qingyu and others heard it.

Su Qingyu and Lu Bocheng looked at each other.

“Why not let the boat dock? Do the fishing boats have to spend the night in the sea?” Xiaobao didn’t understand and asked.

The older child who followed him to dig clams, named Siwa, said: “My grandpa may have regarded you as the servants who came to collect the fishing tax…”

“Four babies!” The village chief glared at him.

Siwa tightened her mouth.

Su Qingyu didn’t want to lose the fresh catch. It was a big thank you that she couldn’t eat it even though she had come here.

He glanced at Lu Bocheng and reassured the village chief: “Old man, don’t worry. We are not here to collect fishing tax. And don’t be afraid. With my husband, no one dares to come to collect fishing tax. You can safely dock your ship. We have a lot of people, so we take a fancy to the catch you catch and buy it from you, so you don’t have to go all the way to the city to pick it up.”

Who is this? Why is it that while he is here, no one dares to collect the fishing tax?

While the village chief was still thinking, he heard the villagers ask: “Really? Your Excellency really buys from us?”

“Really, if you have any good seafood, you can bring it to us. We will come all the way. If there are good local products, we will also buy some to take home.”

Everyone following the village chief rubbed their hands happily.

Su Qingnao saw that although they were interested, no one made any move, so she looked at the baskets of the fourth child and other children: “We all want these clams. Please set a price.”

“Ah, noble man, you want to buy our clams?” You can just dig them up on the tidal flats, so why should you spend money to buy theirs?

Not worth the money.

“Yes, how much do you usually sell it for?”

“This is worthless, so I’ll give it to you.”

Su Qingyao smiled and said, “This is what you earned through your labor. How can you not accept payment?” She looked at Youbai and Guo beside her.

Guo and Youbai walked over and looked through the baskets of several children.

“You guys are big or small. One kilogram counts as five cents. You guys…” He weighed the weight.

One child dug up about twenty or thirty kilograms.

Looking at the string of copper plates stuffed into their hands, not only the children were stunned, but the village chief and others were also stunned.

Each child received one or two hundred coins.

They usually pick fresh fish, shrimps and crabs and walk a day to Haizhou, but they only sell them for twenty or thirty cents, and they often have to take them back if they can’t sell them.

This worthless clam was sold for so much money?

“Noble sir, this, this is too much.” The village chief’s voice was trembling.

“Take it. If it’s delicious, I’ll buy it from you.”

“My lord, do you still want more? Let’s dig more!” The children were very excited.

“My lord, I have dried fish and squid at home. Do you want them?”

“My lord, I have seaweed at home, do you want it?”

“Noble…”

“Your Majesty, come and have a look in our village. Every household has dried fish and seafood.” The village chief immediately became enthusiastic and worked hard to sell the products.

Su Qingyu and others were surrounded by the villagers of Leshan Village.

“Don’t worry, it’s getting late today. We have to set up camp, so we won’t go to your village. We won’t leave for the time being. Please ask the village chief to take my people to the village to get some fresh water.”

“Okay. No need for the nobles to go, we will pick them for you.”

Su Qingyu thought for a moment and nodded: “That’s fine. We’ll give you ten cents for a load of water.”

“I’ll pick!”

“I’ll pick!”

Everyone around Su Qingyu ran away, even the village chief ran away.

Ten coins for a load of water, Niangle.

Let each member of the family pick up a load. One load is ten cents, five loads is fifty cents…

The fourth child and other children looked at the running villagers, looked at each other, held the coins in their hands, and asked Su Qingyu: “My lord, do you still want clams?”

Su Qingyu looked at the nearly 100 kilograms of clams in several baskets and smiled at him: “I don’t want them today. If I want them tomorrow, I’ll find you again.”

“My lord, do you really want dried fish? I have it at home.” The little girl held the copper plate tightly in her arms and asked timidly.

“If it’s good, we want it.”

The little girl nodded happily and said to the four children: “Fourth brother, let’s come back quickly and get them for the nobles to choose from.”

Several children said hello to Su Qingyu and others and ran away.
